A baby boy was born 'pregnant' with his own twin brother. Doctors
discovered the half-formed male baby - complete with a brain, arm and
legs - behind the otherwise-healthy baby boy's stomach after he was
born.
They successfully operated to remove the 7cm mass, which they suspect was a rare 'foetus in fetu' twin pregnancy - one of around 200 ever recorded in the world.
Radiologist Dr Bhavna Thorat, who spotted the problem during a routine scan, said: 'It was inside a fetal sac of the newborn.'
